Microsoft Zune 16GB
QuickTake:
Pros: Touchpad is still excellent. Improved user interface is less jumpy. Wirelessly syncs to your PC. You can buy music wirelessly and purchase tunes you hear on the radio. Unlimited radio presets.
Cons: Requires the $14.99 monthly Zune Pass or pre-purchased MS Points to download music straight to the player over Wi-Fi. No change in design, display size, or screen resolution from older models.

Microsoft Zune 16GB MP3 Player
Comments:
The latest Zune firmware lets you identify and download songs heard on the radio, but other than a capacity boost, little else has changed.
Review Verdict: Other updates include Audible.com audiobook support, a couple of free games (Texas Hold 'Em and a puzzle game), and a home-screen clock

If you prefer something extremely lightweight that integrates with a lot of third-party speakers and accessories, the fourth-generation 16GB iPod Nanos may be a better choice. All of these devices are available for about the same price as the Zune, so unl

Microsoft Zune 80

Review: Microsoft Zune 8GB
Comments:
Wireless and video support may be overkill on a device this size, but the 8GB Zune offers some interesting options as a flash player.
Review Verdict: The 8GB Zune is a little thicker than one of the last-generation iPod Nanos. That puts it on the large side for flash-based MP3 players these days. Its audio quality sounded a little better to my ears than that of the latest iPod Nano, on a par with Creat

Zune 80GB Media Player
Comments:
Though the old 30GB Zune didn't go over too well, Microsoft's kept at it and managed to produce an impressive pair of players in its second-generation Zunes. The $250 80GB hard-drive model I tested would make a capable alternative to an 80GB iPod Classic

Zune (second generation, 4GB, black) review
Comments:
Review Verdict: The 4GB and 8GB capacity Zunes (Zune 4 and Zune 8) offer a bite-size version of their full-size, 80GB sibling. While the full-size Zune is a better value, the solid-state flash memory used in the 4GB and 8GB versions make them better suited for physically

QuickTake:
Pros: The flash-based 4GB and 8GB Microsoft Zune MP3 players feature a 1.8-inch glass LCD, an easy-to-use interface, exceptional navigation control, audio and video podcast support, and FM radio. It also includes wireless syncing and sharing, revamped Zune Mark
Cons: The Zune 4 and Zune 8 players are PC-only devices that require their own software and still don't support older WMA-DRM9 music files, nor does Zune Marketplace offer TV or movie downloads. The Zune's USB connection is proprietary, there's no Wi-Fi music s

Calling the Zune 16GB a new product is a bit of a stretch. With no real hardware changes, and the ability to load the new software onto any of the older models, we're basically looking at the same old player with a paint job, a capacity upgrade, and price
